Hillary embodied everything that large swathes of the electorate (including many core Democratic voters) despise. She made absolutely no appeal to struggling working class voters (the way Obama did in 2008 and 2012) and ran her entire campaign as a culture war against those backward "deplorables". She made no effort to shake off the impression that she was part of the collusion of big business and politics that has been screwing over America for decades - but then again, how could she have? It could be seen from miles away.
Wow, what a focused attack on those deplorable WWC's. No advocating for the working class here. /s The media deciding to report on the 'basket of deplorables' line (taken way out of context) and culture wars stuff(likely because stuff like that fits the nations perception of Hillary as an establishment liberal focused on culture wars and not economics) instead of her economic message wasn't her fault. Stop with the obsessive hatred. You're supposed to be a feminist. So stop blaming one of the most effective (and unfortunately few) female leaders in the world for factors mostly out of control(her mistakes in 2016 were mostly tactical, focusing on AZ and NC instead of WI MI PA, investing in NC instead of GA, etc. And you could debate that they were only so obvious in hindsight). Hillary didn't start the right-wing smear campaign against herself, Hillary didn't create the sexist framework that limits women in this world, Hillary didn't make the media ignore the economic parts of her message for more email BS, and Hillary didn't create the world-wide right wing populist uprising that's getting ready to screw up everything.
